Things to take away from Donald Trump’s statesmanlike performance at the South Carolina Debate Saturday night, where with barely a nod to ISIS he declared former President George W. Bush the bogeyman of the century. Okay, maybe he didn’t actualy say that, but it was implied. And didn’t all that bluster about hitting ISIS “very hard,” […]

My latest post on Newsreal Blog. It sounded good on the surface, when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton scolded the Human Rights Council (HRC) last month for its “structural bias” against Israel. But closer examination reveals those words were nothing more than a sugarcoated shelter for the Obama administration to hide behind while once again […]

This is interesting. It seems the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) has forged a new frontier in climate change research — a peek into the psyches of climate change alarmists themselves. And what better laboratory than the United Nations Conference on Climate Change that just wrapped up in (an unusually and ironically frigid) Cancun, Mexico? The findings — although not […]

Eye on the U.N. has compiled some highlights from the United States’ recent “Universal Periodic Review” (UPC), a thing at the United Nations where the world’s worst human rights abusers get to throw mud-balls at us. This was our first UPC, because for some reason previous U.S. presidents weren’t interested. The video is instructive, […]

Bad news: Iran continues to stone women. Good news: They won’t be lecturing you and me about human rights abuses after all. Turns out that some sticklers thought their propensity to fracture feminine skulls might pose a PR problem for the United Nation’s fledgling “Super agency for women.” It was a nice thought, albeit naive. Everyone knows the United Nations […]

Sometimes I miss Ronald Reagan so much. Remember last month when the Obama administration went tattling to the U.N. Human Rights Council about the Arizona immigration law? Well, apparently the groveling didn’t end there. The report confessed to another transgression as well: secret ballots in union votes. Apparently Obama believes that the privacy of non-union […]

Some things are so predictable. Like the sun coming up and the rain coming down (this is Oregon). Oh, and some U.N. bigwig is lying about Israel. This time it is Dr. Ali Abdussalam Treki, president of the United Nations General Assembly. He thinks Israel’s “siege” in Gaza is “worse than the camps of the […]

Memories… Hezbollah is making mischief in Lebanon, and the U.N. is making excuses. Where have I heard all this before? As usual, being utterly unqualified to comment on stuff like this doesn’t stop the thinklets from coming: No worries. Despite U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates’ statement that “Hezbollah has more weapons than most countries” […]

I suppose if you really believe America’s bellicose imperialism has goaded otherwise peaceful governments into despotic aggression, the logical remedy would be groveling acts of penitence like this: Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told a United Nations conference on nuclear nonproliferation Monday that the US will disclose details of its nuclear arsenal – such […]

A couple things from DEBKAfile. First: US defense secretary Robert Gates said Tuesday night, April 27: “Hizballah has far more rockets and missile than most governments in the world.” He and Israeli defense minister Ehud Barak were talking to reporters after their talks in the Pentagon. Military sources did not see his as high commendation […]
